Update grub?(Solved)

Re: Update grub?(Solved)

Editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg is NOT recommended and is the easiest way to blow up your boot process.

Not only is it not easy, it's not even possible.

Ahoy, by grub.cfg...KISS...

	default=0
	gfxmode=640x480
	insmod gfxterm
	insmod vbe
	timeout=11
	menu_color_normal=white/blue
	menu_color_highlight=light-cyan/cyan

menuentry "Windows 7" {
	insmod ntfs
	set root='(hd0,1)'
	search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set d8c0ef8fc0ef7264
	chainloader +1
}
menuentry 'KUB' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
	insmod ext2
	set root='(hd0,6)'
	search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set debfdd2e-50ec-4933-b709-88f708449e5e
	linux /vmlinuz root=UUID=debfdd2e-50ec-4933-b709-88f708449e5e ro quiet splash
	initrd	/initrd.img
}

Even if a computer glitch were to happen, I'm just a chroot, and grub-install away from recovery.

so what exactley are you saying you did?

and I'll try it on the test box .....that is just edit the grub.cfg for that problematic partition?

are you saying you can do that with no side effects or really that it's not possible?

Vinny, I was just responding to it being easy to blow up the boot process. I've used this method for well over a year without any problems.

The grub.cfg file I was showing is how simple that file can be made to look and work. cat our your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file then look at mine again. Also when a new kernel comes along and grub.cfg gets modified again, I simply over write it. Its just that simple.

What I dislike of the new grub2 is it doesn't let you prevent grub itself from including options you don't need or you entirely dislike so you still might need to delete those entries manually, aka editing the grub.conf file even if it says no one should do it.
